Rahman is very selective these days and he gives his best in the few projects he does. He has come out with a soothing album for 'The Rising', knowing that it's a big film. But there is a pathetic story behind this music. He received only Rs.10 lakhs, which was paid to the Prague Orchestra. Meanwhile, producer of the film Bobby Bedi said recently that they have recovered the cost of the film. He also had said that a lot of money had been paid. He seems to be unaware of the due pending. The makers of the film should know that Rahman deserves much more than they think. |

The film will be showcased to patrons prior to all movie screenings at FAME Multiplexes to add an emotive flavor to the National anthem. The first screening of the film was held at FAME Adlabs (Andheri), in the presence of an august audience including the musical maestros involved in the unique initiative viz. Pandit Jasraj, A R Rahman, Kavita Krishnamurthy , Sadiq Khan. Speaking at the launch, Mr. Shravan Shroff, Managing Director, Shringar Cinemas Limited, said, ?We believe that this powerful rendition of the anthem created by AR Rahman and BharatBala Productions will appeal to the young and old alike, instilling a fresh sense of pride. We are proud to be the first and only multiplex chain in the country to introduce this moving and awe-inspiring performance of the national anthem. This rendition features the best of Indian musical talent, making this a timeless classic that will connect with our patrons each time they experience it.? With ?JANA GANA MANA?, BharatBala Productions contributed to the country?s emotional moment by bringing together all the musical maestros of India, from the classical to the contemporary, for a soulful rendition of the National Anthem as never before.

Everybody knows that A.R.Rahman is a winner and people simply love his music. He has recently enthralled music lovers with the albums of 'The Rising' and 'Rang De Basanti'. However, shocking waves will run down your spine on hearing this piece of news. Surprisingly, this renowned musician is not paid fully for his work in 'The Rising'.

Thank you for the article.
If Bedi had promised Rahman a certain amount of money, then that is what Rahman should receive, regardless of how the film did at the BO.
thank you vijay! for the links....i have not listened to any of them before ,i was waiting for 'water'..i am hearing about it for the last few years...rehmans bestwork...

Mumbai - A.R. Rahman's historic concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles last month has changed the equation between Bollywood and Hollywood.
Recalling the exhilarating experience, Rahman says: 'They had been trying to contact us for the past year. Finally I let them on to my events manager.
'When I was earlier honoured at the Hollywood Bowl in 2000, they told me it was going to be a non-Indian audience. But a lot of Asians came, which was fantastic. But that process of reaching out to a global audience happened this time at the Hollywood Bowl.'
The concert held on July 16 was attended by 18,000 people. Says Rahman, 'Eighty percent of the audience was non-Indian. More than an endorsement of my music it was an acknowledgement of our entire film industry. I hate to call Hindi cinema 'Bollywood'. But that's what we represented at the Hollywood Bowl.
'The doubts that I had about our music being appealing to the West were finally cleared. Our sincerity was quite clear to them. It took me years to get unapologetic about our music in front of a western audience. I now realise that the gift god has given me is the gift that I need to use to the fullest in front of audiences in any part of the world.
'That's exactly what I did at the Hollywood Bowl that evening. My musicians and I for the first time felt such pride in doing our own thing. I started the evening with 'Bombay Dreams' which the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra performed, followed by 'Dil Se', 'Rang De Basanti' etc. Then we did choral arrangements of my songs from Mani Ratnam's films with a group called Global Rhythms.
'They're students from Miami University. These kids had been following my music for years. They all flew into Los Angeles at their own expense because they wanted to play with me.'
Says Rahman: 'I wasn't thinking of the fact that the Beatles or Pink Floyd performed at the Hollywood Bowl. I was just thinking of what I was supposed to do. I got great support from my musicians like Hariharan, Sukhwinder, Madhushree and Sadhana Sargam. Two local dance groups from Los Angeles danced to 'Rang de Basanti' and 'Sona sona' ('Bombay Dreams').'
Rahman is again prompted to look seriously westwards.
'I'm confident about hitting other cities in Europe, Russia, China, Japan with similar concerts. If it worked in America, especially Los Angeles where the cream of the crowd lives, it can work anywhere. And I feel it's not just me moving forward. It's the entire Indian music industry.
'I made a big sacrifice when I did the musical play 'Bombay Dreams' some years ago in England, leaving behind several lucrative offers in Mumbai and Chennai in the process. I think the gambit has finally paid off.'
This time Rahman isn't keen on letting his movie assignments suffer. 'More international concerts are going to happen now. But not too frequently. I had an international concert tour in September which I've postponed because of my movie assignments in Hindi.'
